Frequently Ask Questions

ha·lal

adj. 1.Of or being meat slaughtered in the prescribed way: a halal butcher; a halal label.

2.In accordance with or permitted under the Islamic shari’a
That’s the meaning as per The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition. 
This is already debatable!

Concern With Reason
When I first thought about the idea of this website, the first issue was the halal factor of the places we go to. 
Can any of us really ever know if a place is halal or not?

I have noticed that anytime a brother and sister goes to a place which states they are halal, 
it just leads to much debate because some people consider certain things halal which others don’t 
(ex. some will eat in a place that says halal, others want everything halal and others wont believe 
until they see the halal wrapper, etc.). What I found out is that I will give the person the benefit 
of doubt and believe they are providing halal food. To combat the concerns of the community, I found the
 best solution is to have a rating system. A simple system that rates the place on how halal it is (I know this sounds 
 totally wrong, but this is what most readers have requested). The system is pretty simple, halal factor on a scale of 
 1-3 crescent moons (cheesy.. I know) . Following is a simple break down of it:

•1 moon – place is states its halal but might not be able to verify full, might not have a full halal menu
•2 moons- This usual means that the place states its halal, but is debatable for one reason or another
•3 moons- Fully halal menu, brother/sister provided verification.
If any readers has a problem with the way things are conducted please contact us with a solution. This is a community 
site and it’s for everyone, so let’s improve on it. Lastly, I want to make it clear, that this website isn’t about
 going to “halal only” places. This site is about finding new places where we all can enjoy food and bond with 
 friends & family.

Thanks for your time and understanding.



How did this website start?
This website started because I ( zulfiqar ) do not know how to cook basically. 
Though being blessed by God with enough £££££ to eat out on a daily basis I decided to 
let others know about some lovely diners/restaurants/cafes serving quality Halal meals. 
I ended up noting down my experience of the meal be it for breakfast, lunch or dinner. 
So one day after careful thought and also a requirement for a program, it finally came to fruition. Thanks to God. 

Who’s behind this site?

Initially this site was a brain-child of my cousin's who advised me on to get it rolling
 and note down my Halal dining experiencefind great places and write.


Are you guys seriously looking for writers/contributors?

Yes, I am! Would like to have more contributors at the moments to cover London areas where I have frequented. 
Please message me with your details at zulfiqar[at]halaldininginLondon.com




Are you affiliated or involved with any other sites/groups?

I am not involved or affiliated with any sites/groups.
I respect what they do, however, I believe in being more than a resource or a listing. 
Ie personally go to places to review and recommend them (or not) based on my experiences. 


Can I advertise with you?

halaldininginlondon.com is a not-for-profit website. 
We may add advertisement later on to benefit site function and costs of maintenance. 
Feel free to contact us is you have any further questions.

Why does this site not look correct?

Chances are that your using Internet Explorer version 6 & since Microsoft doesn’t support it, we feel we shouldn’t either. 
There is no reason why your not using another browser such as Firefox, Safari or Opera!

Are you seriously Muslims? What type of Muslims are you?

I am Muslim, I always eat Halal - being in Londontown over 7 years and have always opted for Halal meals
As far as type, I am the best kind out there!

Do you review halal food restaurants?

In a short answer Yes, but we aren’t just a halal review site.  
It’s  more about finding good food then just reviewing halal restaurants. 
We set it up as a way to benefit the community as a whole.


Where are you located?

Zulfiqar is primary located in London City
And other contributors on the website are all in different areas of London boroughs.
